It covers all major theoretical concepts and their applications in six chapters, including the conformations of chains, the thermodynamics of mixtures, solutions and networks, and the dynamics of polymers. Selected topics highlight aspects of polymer mechanics, the role of particulate fillers, stable and labile liquid crystal polymers, and polyelectrolytes. Solved problems deepen and extend important points that are explained in the main chapters. The emphasis is on the derivation of the results and not on their mere presentation. If a result can be obtained using different theoretical methods or viewed from a different angle, an attempt is made to explain the relationships between the methods as clearly as possible. In addition, the validation of theoretical results through suitable experiments is always included. All this assumes a certain familiarity with statistical thermodynamics and its mathematics, which means that the text is best suited for upper undergraduate level. 410 0$aUndergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics,$x2192-4805 606 $aSoft condensed matter 606 $aPolymers 606 $aSoft and Granular Matter 606 $aPolymers 615 0$aSoft condensed matter. 615 0$aPolymers. 615 14$aSoft and Granular Matter. 615 24$aPolymers. 676 $a530.41 700 $aHentschke$b Reinhard$0749357 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911007486603321 996 $aA Concise Introduction to Polymer Physics$94387830 997 $aUNINA
